The Langlands program, initiated by Canadian mathematician Robert Langlands in 1967, seeks to discover deep connections between disparate areas of mathematics, such as number theory and harmonic analysis, through correspondences that reveal unexpected symmetries. Often called a "grand unified theory of mathematics," the program has engaged hundreds of mathematicians for decades, though even most experts struggle to articulate its core meaning and significance.
An interactive educational resource exploring chirality and the Standard Model of particle physics, tracing from Wu's 1956 parity violation experiment through symmetry mathematics and Lie algebras to examine whether a common mathematical origin explains the families of matter and the weak interaction's asymmetry between left and right.
